Season's Greetings from: Elkskin,
Found these descriptions in my (Garden Seed Inventory)-(fourth
edition) Seed Savers Exchange book, I thought they were kind of interesting so
I'm passing them on to the group.

variety in 1978 by Howard Dill, this variety is often confused with the PVP
variety "Dill's Atlantic Giant," which was derived by Howard Dill from the
same seed pool but is longer, less tall and generally smaller.
Atlantic Giant, Dill's--110-125-- days Huge, red-orange skin, orange
